Tokyo, everyone is drawing comics, who still wants to fall in love?

Editorial Department of Qunyingsha.

An editor of the main publication reported the situation: "Editor-in-chief, have you noticed that Mr. Arakawa's comics are not very popular on the website? "

The editor-in-chief took a look and took a deep puff of the cigarette between his fingertips: "Maybe there are not many controversial points in the plot?"

I have communicated with him, but he didn't listen to anything. The editor-in-chief was resentful in his heart, but it was difficult to say it out.

As the editor-in-chief of Qunyingsha's main publication department, his review level is naturally good. He has long seen that the plot of Nobuhiro Arakawa's "I am the Great Commander of the Goblin Tribe" is too flat, and it has the flavor of comics from more than ten years ago.

In other words, this comic is a bit old-fashioned.

But what can he do as the editor-in-chief? Nobuhiro Arakawa is a great god invited by the president, and he doesn't listen to his euphemistic suggestions!

"..." The editor here has heard the meaning of the editor-in-chief's words, and no longer dwells on it. He immediately said something else he noticed, "Editor-in-chief, the newcomer Mitsuko Akechi's "Goblin Slayer" is very popular!"

He handed over the data report.

Each of the twenty or so comics has a popularity bar, and the one that ranks second and third is the longest and thickest.

The popularity of the second and third comics combined is not as high as this one.

"Goblin Slayer is only the first issue!" the editor exclaimed.

He turned on the computer and started to look at the electronic version of the paid serialized pages on the website.

Because the electronic version can have on-screen comments, he can most directly see the reactions of comic fans to certain pages.

At the beginning of the comic, a priestess was shaking and crying.

[A standard hero saving a beauty. ]

[Nice art. ]

[I also want to be a hero saving a beauty. ]

There were not many comments at this time.

Then, an inexperienced young adventure team, led by a young male swordsman captain with a female mage, a female martial artist and a female priest, entered the goblin cave.

The market has proved that this comic can arouse the response of comic fans. How did it do it? The editor-in-chief observed more carefully this time.

Soon, the editor-in-chief noticed it.

Every time a female character appears, there is a special scene that highlights her physical features.

Then, such a beautiful body is hurt and bullied by the goblins in various ways.

Very direct scenes, no cover-up.

[Too cruel, right? This is the first time I see a beautiful girl being killed in a plot, and it is a cruel killing! ]

[It can't be said that it is hot, it is simply sashimi! ]

[What a pity, why give it to the goblins? Those girls don't seem to have boyfriends. ]

[I am very happy to watch it! It's right! Let them be so confident! I thought something was going to happen before! ]

[This is the cruel reality, so real! This reminds me of another work, the world is so gentle, too fake! ]

The editor was stunned when he saw this message.

He quickly turned the page back and jumped directly to Nobuhiro Arakawa's "I am the Great Commander of the Goblin Tribe"

While farming with goblins, the protagonist encounters tribal barbarians who are sometimes unruly, but generally they are like good children...

Especially, the protagonist treats people with a gentle attitude, acts uprightly, and is full of love for everyone. Even if the other party is a vicious beast, he will use love to influence them...

Comic fans leave comments saying: [It's a beautiful world] [These goblins are so cute] [Like a spring breeze that heals people]...

But there are also many comments saying: [It feels a bit fake]...

Returning to "Goblin Slayer", the protagonist mercilessly sends the hopeless beauty to the road; in order to kill the goblins, he does not hesitate to use various obscene but practical and neat tactics; in order to cover up the smell, he is not afraid to smear the disgusting goblin flesh on his body...

He even searches the secret places of the cave and kills the child goblin mercilessly!

When swinging a huge stick at a goblin whose back was not as tall as a human, the protagonist said calmly:

"Only those who will not appear in front of humans are good goblins."

At that moment, he had no expression, only a dark face; no pity, only the desire to exterminate; no eyes, only the killing pupils like torches!

So, the number of discussions on this page of comics exploded!

Only one page, there are more than 600 discussion messages!

[This sentence is so cool! ]

[I will definitely follow this comic! ]

[Good reviews! Finally there is a cold and rational protagonist! ]

[Ah, I feel better, my mood finally feels better! No longer a saint, I feel so comfortable! ]

[The protagonist's behavior is a bit too much, even children are not spared...]

[The keyboard saint above! Did the goblins spare the beautiful girls in front? ]

[Come and watch, there is a holy heart beast here! ]

The editor suddenly realized.

Comparing the two comics, the impressions are completely different...

Especially when they are in the same comic magazine and both are about goblins!

First read Arakawa's "Goblin Leader" and then read Akechi Mitsu Hideko's "Goblin Slayer". The gentleness and bloody abuse give people a very strong sense of contrast.

No matter the development of the plot or the character of the protagonist.

If "Goblin Leader" is like a light-flavored Japanese cuisine that emphasizes the true taste.

Then "Goblin Slayer" is a hot, fresh and appetizing Chinese Sichuan cuisine!

The deepest desires of comic fans are revealed by the bloody injuries! It's like the roar of a beast with amplified sound, which is constantly enlarged with the restricted pictures.

Following this, the protagonist's unscrupulous but effective actions brought about a bloody rain of goblins, the old enemy of mankind, which comforted the kindness and rationality hidden in the hearts of comic fans.

Then, in the third episode, it quickly explained why the protagonist was so cold and full of hatred for goblins.

His whole family was killed, his sister was bullied in front of him, and he became a killer who specialized in killing goblins!

Oh oh——!

It was done in one go, and it was so exciting!

The editor stared at the screen in a daze. After a long while, he said:

"It would be strange if this "Goblin Slayer" didn't become popular!"

——

Oda Shingo's small second-floor studio.

"Shingo, it's really time to deliver." Fujido Kaoru's body twisted, and his face twitched.

"Deliver it."

"Really, really deliver it."

"Hurry up!" Oda Shingo urged.

Fujido Kaoru's body kept twisting, and his face was so tense that it looked like a spasm.

If Oda Shingo was a little bit unserious, he might think that this was a bad face.

Episodes 1 and 2 of "Spy Playing House" are about to be delivered.

Fujido Kaoru was very nervous. After all, this was her first comic as the main writer.

Under Oda Shingo's constant urging, she clicked the button to send the email.

Now the studio's optical scanner has been upgraded, and there is no need to submit paper manuscripts, which greatly improves the delivery speed.

In the comic tradition, many great gods were blocked at home by editors and forced to draw the manuscripts before the deadline. Then the editor rushed out like a yellow-clothed courier and rushed back to the editorial office.

That era is basically over.

"Times have changed, and the traditional spy model is outdated." Oda Shingo flipped through a comic "The Black Eye Mask of the Spy" that was still serialized in "RED" and sneered at it, "Don't mention the content, just the name, this is old as a mummy, right?"

No wonder "RED" wants to be the fourth, and the three major families don't agree. It's really time to wash out some comics.

The number of pages in a "RED" issue is basically fixed. If Oda Shingo wants to take up more space, it means that someone will be cut off.

"Shingo, you will be envied by others." Namikaze Yukaku reminded him.

"If you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person." Oda Shingo was determined not to be too good and pity others.

Soon, Mikami Saburo called: [Shingo, I saw the new comics, it's very good. But, it seems a little slow to heat up? ]

"After all, it's a daily comic." Oda Shingo smiled, "Don't worry, it will be popular within ten chapters."

[I believe you. But, I saw the plot direction draft you submitted at the same time, doesn't the protagonist have a harem? ]

[Harem? That's outdated. How can love be shared! One-on-one pure love is popular now, right? Love cannot be fickle. ] Oda Shingo snorted.

After talking for a while, Oda Shingo put down the phone.

But he was shocked to find that several girls around him were looking at him.

"Okay, you're getting better at lying." Fujido Kaoru snorted.

Mikami Yuuko didn't dare to say anything, Mrs. Yukino smiled playfully, and Namikaze Yukaku looked at him with resentment.

"What happened? Did I say something wrong?" Oda Shingo was confused.
